Best wishes for the rider.

Cycled past at 23.15. Still cordoned off. Forensic van at the scene. Police at scene just spoke to confirm that it was a Barcley's bike and truck. A very big truck with shipping crate on back. Didn't look good. And BBC confirms my fears. This is very sad. rip.

My daily route as well. I hope it's not as bad as it reads.

Terribly sad, rip.

Rhowe / Howard - will try. Thank you for the helpful and encouraging posts. I am writing the email at the moment and would appreciate anyone with patience to read it over and tell me their thoughts? If you are so inclined please PM me your email. Would be very appreciated, but please don't feel pressured into it! I would email it tomorrow.

Beautiful.

dibs on pedals if you do decide to split

suecsi - that police station is now closed (used by london transport police only).

alexB - good advice, I just felt sheepish and wanted to get up and back onto the bike... my mistake.

howard - good news. The guy was a minicab driver and his insurance has called admitting liability and wanting to sort everything.

Provisional. Baby due 08-09 so not sure I can get away with the whole day. But keen to do them hills.

Reads very scary. Hope the rider recovers and they catch the driver.

26-06-2013, 115 Station Road, Hampton.

Guessing this is the place to post, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Riding with a friend when a parked minivan managed to open the driver door in between us. Collected me and spilled me across the both lanes of traffic. Luckily evening so road was empty.

Happened near 115 Station Road Hampton. Got great assistance from the near-by fish and chip shop (Marini's?). The guy initially said "I just opened the door you came out of nowhere" to which I replied "You opened the door without looking". As the people came out from the shop he did take responsibility and even apologised.

Result: me - torn ligaments left ankle; laceration left hand; bruising all over; bike front wheel, crank, frame, brakes (cables, covers, bar tape). Getting it seen to over the weekend so I can post more details.

The man did provide his details and I have filled out a police report.

I will write more details pending how he deals with bike repair costs.

Any advice and/or suggestions appreciated.

Just got my hands on a massive Oxford motorbike chain - no padlock though. PM me or email and I will ride out after work tomorrow.

Sad day. RIP

Looking to rerun this in August/September.

Coming along again for sure (pending on number 2 due on the 8-9- the kid not a loo break)

brill ride, sad to have bailed 3/4 of the way through. thank you for organising another great ride.

highlights
canal crossing the freeway AND another canal
ferry ride
city airport
the hill overlooking the olympic park
the straight bit towards the olympic stadium
the very smelly greenway

thank you again!

I'm doing the over-night version of this hoping for a less congested event. Fixed but with breaks and a geared mate. Looks like they are doing staggered timed starts for the night event (ie. you get a number and a time at which to start). Any ideas if this is rigorously enforced?

Nice ride, nice pics, nice people. Thank you for organising it.

I need mah breaks... Gives me something to hold onto as I walk my bike up Ditchling... ;-)

Can always sleep at work I guess... in.

    Not sure my legs can keep up but in. Is it ok to have brakes but promise not to use them? =)
    

Awesome ride. Thank you. The canal crossing the freeway blew my little mind. Nice to see you ride past me in Brixton later in the day too!
